"Anyone else notice the quiet from the shameful lawyer in Martinsburg that was smearing 5 cops for defending themselves"

For someone constanting using the Constitution, this speaks volumes too. Does anyone notice the quiet from those who were defending Jeff Co Sheriff Shirley? Our Constitution calls for justice in the form of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Keep "speaking volumes" demonstrating your lack of a rational discussion and honoring our Constitution when you treat it as an ala carte menu.

Hey Major, I support this initiative without reservation. I also support providing vests to every citizen who comes through the City of Martinsburg so they are protected against the "few" trigger happy gun slingers on the City PD.

I agree that Majoritarian has hit on an important point. And actually, if all citizens have a right to protection from pregnancy and diseases in the form of taxpayer funded free ******s and pills, then all citizens have a right to protection from bullets, in the form of taxpayer funded ballistic vests.

Let's have a referendum on it. "If it has the potential to save even one life, then it's our responsibility to try it."

If I was a police person I would take it upon myself to pay for my own bulletproof vest. Just call me crazy. Maybe If our local governement heads across all departments didn't make six figures and retire on close to 6 figures we could Busget the money for bullet proof vests. Who I'm kidding that county treasure needs that salary and that pension because he/she is well worth it.(lol)

let the police and sheriffs etc pay for their own body armour. if they want the job and the risks it endures then so be it. why should we all pay taxes to protect the lot of them who are really nobodys but ******** who get a kick out of having the power to tell people what to do and if they don't like what you're doing have the empowerment to prosecute you within the laws others have decided upon... my god... this is what the right wing wants to spend money on?

I do understand there being an argument for having these officers pay for their own bodyarmor, but let's remember, they're here to protect US. Though there are a few rotten apples, there are a lot more good ones.

The NAACP is an organization that was necessary years ago, but now is just simply obselete. Their vary involvement in issues causes divisiveness because of past cases they represented and our country's rush to take sides. They would be taken more seriously if they aggressively pursued the interests of all people and also not just hop on high-profile cases. I am in know way stating that their causes are not just, but today's world is far different from the world that existed during the days that this organization was founded.
